Best Katar subclass.

[Bubbler]

Hello,so I am lvl60 katar now,and I cant decide what subclass should I stay with,I tried Gunslinger,but now I am Tachi,with gunslinger I felt weird,being ranged and melee in same time,tachi is too slow for me,I am thinking of going Katar/Duelist.Share me your thoughts guys.. :)

just try something else every 10 min and see how it plays it dont cost anything like before and its secondary weapon scrolls. was playing guardian and switch secondary every dungeon to see what worked best and found that secondary reaper on guardian is a bit odd but a scythe that gives 4% incomeing damage as health and a debuff that makes 30% damage done to a marked enemy hp... you are basicly very very tanky in other worlds made other world helena a cake walk!

Depends entirely on your playstyle.
-> Super tanky and sustainable Katar? Bard sub is the way, Inner Strength is not enough
-> You like burst damage? Tachi does it actually, also offers nice ultimate skills
-> You like controlling the enemy? Gunslinger with its traps combined with your Blitz is a deadly combo, both pve and pvp wise, and since Katars can be really damaging, this transfers to your pistols as well (crit dmg mostly)

Otherwise Sorcer with the Sleep Totem is equally strong!

I do not recommend duelist as a sub for this for the following reason:

The main aspect of a duelist is high DOT effects that come from Cross Slash, Purple Lightning and Deadly Wink and is only sub-burst most of the time. You should be busy enough using your earth- and windcharge raising melee attacks that you should not spend time on much more melees that dont give much of utility in the first place (lifesteal when you have self heal? not good if you ask me).

Also, what makes a main duelist strong is his envoy path with lifesteal, bursting DOT and lots of weakening effects. As a sub, you usually want to use him for the sake of ultimates at best
(Ravager is a good example with the 2nd spin ultimate) or if your melee moveset does not mind binding in another attacks (Guardian for example, also has a lifesteal and aggro ultimate)
